Dark Horse has announced the continuation of the ElfQuest saga with ElfQuest: Stargazer’s Hunt Volume 2. In celebration, they are hosting a live streamed discussion about the comics with creators Wendy and Richard Pini, led by David Mizejewski, the host of the ElfQuest Show podcast.
The live stream will take place at 1pm Pacific/4pm Eastern on the Dark Horse Comics Twitch stream and Youtube Channel. Viewers are encouraged to ask questions in the chat during the stream. If you can’t make it, don’t worry; the recording will be available afterwards to watch on demand.
Here’s the synopsis for the upcoming graphic novel:
The ElfQuest saga is a tale over four decades in the telling. Although the hero’s journey of elfin chief Cutter came to an epic finale in The Final Quest, the fantasy world created by Wendy and Richard Pini is rich with stories and characters, ready to be explored and discovered.
The newest series, ElfQuest: Stargazer’s Hunt concludes in Volume 2, new at comic shops and bookstores. Following the events of The Final Quest, Stargazer’s Hunt is a two-volume series exploring the continuing story of Skywise.
Skywise, astronomer and sky-reader to the Wolfrider tribe of elves, has gone missing from the Starhome. Literally lost in space, he desperately seeks the reason for the haunting gaps in his memories. Meanwhile Jink, the elf-daughter he left behind, returns to the World of Two Moons, ancestral home of the Wolfriders, in the hope of finding a way to heal Skywise’s soul.
Stargazer’s Hunt includes story by ElfQuest co-creators Wendy and Richard Pini, with script and layouts by Wendy Pini. Veteran ElfQuest alumnus Sonny Strait continues at warp speed as Wendy’s art collaborator and colorist for the new series, with the talented Nate Piekos handling letters.
